The holidays give Areaware an added excuse to lean into its inherently joyous nature. For the Holiday 2023 Campaign, we re-imagined some of the brand's bestselling products to be the main event of every holiday gathering: dessert. Other favorite objects were tied up with a bow to depict giftable goodies. The imagery and language told the story of creating an extra sweet holiday with Areaware.

Art Direction

Whimsically styled photographs and convivial language depict a festive Areaware-style holiday. Whether a kitchen timer dressed up as a bonbon or pillar candles arranged to resemble a cake, the imagery told a story of a sweet and spirited celebration, true to the brand's playful sense of humor.
